1. What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?Having never done weight training, I knew I needed help to get started. This seemed like theperfect way to get started with that and also lose some weight at the same time.

2. What results have you achieved since starting your program.After 4 weeks of being on the programs and sticking to the exercise &amp; nutrition plan:I lost 8 pounds of weight and almost 6% of Body Fat Mass (lbs). I gained 3 pounds in SkeletalMuscle Mass.

3. What do you like best about our program/having a trainer?Having a trainer with the knowledge that Tim has I knew he could jump start me in the rightdirection. He pushed me in the 4 week program to limits I didn't think I could reach. I was doingweights I never imagined when I signed up. The workouts were challenging but the feeling youleft there with afterwards made you want to continue. Results were seen in very little time. Itwas easy to tell from the start Tim was there to guide me along and make sure I wouldsucceed.

4. What would you say to someone on the fence about joining our program?For anyone thinking about getting started just give it a try. When you can see results like Iachieved in just 4 weeks you know it was well worth it. It's not just the training and exercise butlearning the nutrition part of the program is something you will take home with you and useforever. It's one of the best decisions I ever made.

Meghann R. - 24 Years Old

Meghann has not only lost 20 pounds on the scale but she has found a new passion for health and fitness that she will carry on for years to come!

What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?

I’ve always been active, whether it was playing tennis or practicing martial arts for a number of years, but I never truly focused on nutrition. After being in a car accident that left me with a back injury, it became difficult to keep up my participation in the activities that I enjoyed. Fast forward through four busy years of college where staying fit and eating well had taken a backseat, I realized that I needed a routine to stick to that would keep me focused and motivated. My boyfriend and I decided to start a program together with the intention that we’d be each other’s support and keep each other on track.

What results have you achieved since starting your program?

I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, but what I gained is far more important. About two months into the program, it become less about the numbers on the scale will carry on for years to come! and more about working toward being happier and healthier. I became focused on what I could do rather than what I couldn’t do, and in the process I discovered power-lifting, so I started training for my first power-lifting meet. This program has been incredibly rewarding because I feel fantastic and so much healthier, and I’ve loved learned more about nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I was able to safely train through an existing back injury, and now I’m feeling stronger than ever. So if you only look at the numbers, the scale will say that I’ve lost about twenty pounds and 8% body fat, but the scale won’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this entire journey or how excited I am to keep going.

What do you like best about our program/having a trainer?

The best part about the program is the support and encouragement, and it comes from every staff member at Oak Creek Fitness. The environment is fantastic; it feels as if everyone is cheering you on. You get out of this program what you put into it, but you get someone coaching you every step of the way. They want you to succeed just as much you do. My boyfriend and I work with Tim, and he always keeps the training sessions fun and interesting. When I said I was interested in competing in a power-lifting meet, he changed our training program and worked with both of us to improve our strength and still continue working toward our weight loss goals. He’s incredibly patient, knows exactly what he’s doing, and it’s great to work with someone who is enthusiastic and truly loves their job. He definitely went above and beyond to help us reach our respective goals.

What would you say to someone on the fence about joining our program?

We are told so often, “You only get one body, so treat it well,” and that’s exactly what you should do. Invest in a personal training program that will give you all the tools to take care of yourself and keep yourself healthy long after you’ve completed your program. You won’t regret it. This was the best investment that I’ve made and I’m so glad that I’ve found a new hobby and lifestyle that I can enjoy for years to come.

Todd Pfander

Todd has lost 30 lbs while training with Tim. He looks and feels so much better as he improves his health and longevity.

What made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?

I’ve always liked exercising. But, I had my left knee replaced in 2012 and gained about 45 pounds. I found myself getting extremely lazy. When I exercised, I started cutting it short. I saw no results at all. Then, I started watching the trainers at Oak Creek Fitness and realized that they were doing great things with their clients. I decided that I wanted the same results.

What results have you achieved since starting your program?

I started with Tim in April of 2017. (I weighed 252 pounds on April 1, 2017.) Today is September 18, 2017. I now weigh 222 pounds, and I am a lot stronger.

I’ve gone down four inches in the waist of my pants!

I’ve set personal bests in the squat, bench press, and deadlift.

I’m a competitive ski racer and anticipate better results this coming winter simply because I’m stronger and much less “bulky!”

I just “feel” better!

What do you like best about our program/having a trainer?

Tim works with me to set goals that are realistic and achievable. He has shown me how to eat correctly in order to feel full while also losing weight.

Tim is friendly, patient, and truly knows his physiology. That makes a huge difference when trying to progress.

What would you say to someone on the fence about joining our program?

If you are even thinking about a trainer, you must see some benefit in it. I say “try it.” The worst that will happen is that you don’t like it. If that is the case, stop. But, I think you will find that you were right all along. Having a trainer makes you more accountable to yourself. No one else can do that for you.
